Your supply post weaning question?

LO is about 11.5 months and we
switched totally of formula about 3-4 weeks ago as my supply was like nil. It wasn't more than a comfort thing anymore as she was eating mostly solids and had a bottle at bed since 5 or so months and I had nursed her at naps and that was it. She quit am nursing at 9 months and we've gradually just replaced nursing with bottles.
I never got engorged or anything and I would figure my supply was dried up by now, but when I was checking yesterday and milk still comes if I do a compression. I know we are all different but I wanted to know how long before those of you who have weaned no longer produced any milk. I thought by now it would've dried up!
TL;DR: weaned about 1 mo. ago and still have some milk when compressions are done. When did your supply dry up?

However, keep in mind that it is possible to still leak at any point in the future. I have a friend who visited after one of our LOs was born. She heard LO cry. And she experienced a letdown, soaking her bra and shirt. Out of curiosity she tried to express to see how much she could get. She expressed a few ounces pretty easily.
Her youngest child had weaned about 2.5 years earlier.
